BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ How to abbreviate Author name in citation

[HypnosiS]

This is my citation and .bib file:

Code: Select all

\citep{bas09}:

Code: Select all

@techreport{bas09,
	institution = "Bank for International Settlements",
	title = "Range of practices and issues in economic capital frameworks",
	author = "{Basel Committee on Banking Supervision}",
	year = "2009"
}

and pdf view:

(Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, 2009)

I dont want to change my reference appereance but in the text is it possible to do citation in a short form? Such as:

(BCBS, 2009)

If you're using natbib, you might try \defcitealias combined with \citealias or \citepalias. Anywhere in the input file, issue \defcitealias{bas09}{BCBS, 2009}. Then in the text, \citepalias{bas09}

See http://merkel.zoneo.net/Latex/natbib.php for a good Natbib reference sheet.
